 Topic: Just cleaned the glass...
Posted: January 03 2006 at 8:23pm |
It's been a while since I posted pictures of my tank. Here are a few. Please note that I'm a terrible photographer and I'm using an antiquated camera (how's that for making excuses for bad photos  ).
The tank is a 125 gallon All-Glass.

Beautiful! I can only hope that my tank turns out like that someday!

Your tank is awsome Jon, You get fantastic growth in your acros. Are you getting the cyano in low flow areas? I ask because I have had an outbreak of cyano lately, in high and low flow areas.

Jon, quick I think you need to frag everything and give me the frags! Your tank is in danger of being too crowded!
Looks really good though!

Thanks for the kind words everyone.
I think i like the 10K side better. Have you noticed a difference in growth between the two sides?
I've always been a big 10K fan. The 20K has only been in there for about a month. I just wanted to give the acros time to acclimate to the bulb and see if how they change color. Jury's still out, but the 20K blue is growing on me...
Are you getting the cyano in low flow areas?
I get cyano whenever two acros grow together. They end up killing each other at the interface and then it turns to cyano. I also have a couple spots in the tank where it grows and I can't stop it (above picture). They are kinda low flow areas.
Ok, here's the last of my pics...
One of a couple bunches of branching coraline in my tank:
A stylaster/distichopora?
This is a PINK snail for Suzy
And finally, I cleaned my skimmer

WOW!
Time for a bigger tank. I can't believe the growth since I was at your house (like 18 months ago).
BTW, I don't think your pics are bad at all.

There's nothing like the (non) smell of a clean skimmer.

That might be in the works. If my wife get's her way we'll be moving and that means a 210 gallon tank for me! But I'm seriously considering a mostly softy tank (xenia, sarcos and mushrooms).
There's nothing like the (non) smell of a clean skimmer.
Plus it's unreal how well it works for the first few days after a good scrubbing. I reallyl should clean it more often

Tubipora musica gradually recedes in most tanks. Congrats to Jon.

A softy dominated 210 would be very cool. Do you recall the tank in the jewelry store in Boise? Sarcophytons as big as basketballs! Now that was cool.
You going to be moving nearer HQ - like Weber or Box Elder county?

I probably should be, but I think the "if my wife has her way" part will keep me in north utah county. Right on, I want Sarcos the size of beachballs! But I would love to have a tank that's wall to wall xenia.
